Tim Roth, currently appearing opposite Richard Gere in Arbitrage, is one of Britain's most respected film actors, equally at home in serious dramas as he is in popcorn blockbusters; entirely believable as a likable everyman, detestable villain and everything in between.

Meet Trevor, 16-year-old skinhead protagonist of Alan Clarke's 1982 TV film. This is the role that marked Roth out as a major talent; he's a thoroughly nasty piece of work – and utterly compelling to watch.
